17.She was dancing.My lame grandmother was dancing.I stood in the living room doorway,looking at her beautiful movements,absolutely shocked.She was the pet of the dancing world.And then she'd had her accident and it was all over.I had read that in an old newspaper article.
"So…Your leg?I mean,how did your leg heal (恢复健全)?"
"To tell you the truth-my legs have been well all my life,"she sighed.
"But I don't understand!"I said,"Your dancing career (事业)…You pretended all these years?"
"Very much so,and for a very good reason."
She thought for a while and then continued."We were talking about engagement (订婚) when your grandfather had to go to war.I was so afraid of losing him that the only way I could stay normal was to dance.I put all my energy and time into practicing and I became very good.Critics praised me,the public loved me,but all I could feel was the ache in my heart,not knowing whether the love of my life would ever return.Then one day a letter came.There were only three sentences:‘I have lost my leg.I am no longer a whole man and now give you back your freedom.It is best you forget about me."
"I made my decision there and then.I traveled away from the city.When I returned I had bought myself a stick.I told everyone I had been in a car crash and that my leg would never completely heal again.My dancing days were over.No one doubted the story-I had learned to limp (一瘸一拐地走) convincingly before I returned home.And I made sure the first person to hear of my accident was a reporter I knew well.Then I traveled to the hospital.They had pushed your grandfather outside in his wheelchair.I took a deep breath,leaned on my stick and limped to him."
"I showed him newspaper articles of my accident.‘There is a whole life waiting for us out there!But I am not going to carry you.You are going to walk yourself.'"
"I limped a few steps toward him and showed him what I'd taken out of my pocket.‘Now show me you are still a man.'I said.He bent to take his stick from the ground and struggled out of that wheelchair.He managed it on his own and walked to me and never sat in a wheelchair again in his life."
"What did you show him?"I had to know.Grandma looked at me and smiled."Two engagement rings,of course.I had bought them the day after he left for the war and I was not going to waste them on any other man."

5.There are an extremely large number of antsworldwide.Each individual (个体的) ant hardly weigh anything,but put together they weigh roughly the same as all of mankind.They also live nearly everywhere,except on frozen mountain tops and around the poles.Foranimals their size,ants have been astonishingly successful,largely due to their wonderfulsocial behavior.
In colonies (群体) that range in size from a few hundred to tens of millions,they organize their lives with a clear division of labor.Even more amazing is how they achievethis level of organization.Where we use sound and sight to communicate,ants dependprimarily on pheromone (外激素),chemicals sent out by individuals and smelled or tastedby fellow members of their colony.When an ant finds food,it produces a pheromone that will lead others straight to where the food is.When an individual ant comes under attack or is dying,it sends out an alarm pheromone to warn the colony to prepare for a conflict as a defense unit.
In fact,when it comes to the art of war,ants have no equal.They are completely fearless and will readily take on a creature much larger than themselves,attacking in large groups and overcoming their target.Such is their devotion to the common good of the colony that not only soldier ants but also worker ants will sacrifice their lives to help defeat an enemy.
Behaving in this selfless and devoted manner,these little creatures have survived on Earth,for more than 140million years,far longer than dinosaurs.Because they think as one,they have a collective (集体的) intelligence greater than you would expect from itsindividual parts.

68.We can learn from the passage that ants areB.
A.not willing to share food
B.not found around the poles
C.more successful than all other animals
D.too many to achieve any level of organization

A.escape
B.communication
C.warning enemies
D.arranging labor
70.What does the underlined expression"take on"in Paragraph 3mean?D
A.Accept.
B.Employ.
C.Play with.
D.Fight against.
71.Which of the following contributes most to the survival of ants?A
A.Their behavior.
B.Their size.
C.Their number.
D.Their weight.
12.In the United States,there were some well-constructed houses for native Indians,ranging from the simple brush shelter to the five-storied pueblo.
  In the eastern United States,one of the existing types was that commonl y know under the Algonkian name of wigwam in which the Iroquois Indians lived.The wigwams were of wagon-top shape with straight sides and ends,made by bending young trees to form the round shape.Over this shape pieces of tree bark were laid to protect the Indians from bad weather.Over the bark dried grass was added.A small hole allowed smoke to escape from the top.Doorways at each end served also as windows,The Iroquois Indians built trunk walls all around their villages.The wall had only one opening,They could quickly close this opening if their enemies came near.
  Interestingly,the Choctaw Indians in Mississippi also lived in a wigwam of a most primitive(原始的) construction,but different from those of the Iroquois Indians.The Choctaw Indians'wigwams,made from mud,cane and straw,were in the form of a bee-hive.The covering was made of a long,tough grass.A post in the centre supported the roof.A hole in the top admitted the light,and allowed the smoke to pass out.
  The tipi tent-housing of the upper lake and plains area was put up with poles set lightly in the ground,tied together near the top,and covered with bark and grass in the lake country.It was easily portable,and two women could set it up or take it down within an hour.
  The Pawnee,Mandan and other Indian tribes (部落) along the Missouri built solid ring-shaped structures of trunk,covered with earth and dried grass,housing a dozen families.
  The Wichita and other tribes of the Texas border built large ring-shaped houses covered with dried grass.
  Apart from the regular housing,almost every tribe had some style of housing.

C.the Iroquois Indians took safety into account while building their wigwams
